00:07The situation is that in our country of more than 130 crores,
00:14only 1.5 crore people pay income tax.
00:30We have joined the few countries in the world
00:40where the Taxpayers Charter, which clearly defines the rights of taxpayers, will also be implemented.
00:50There is no taxpayer charter in the developed countries of the world.
00:58The French government is continuously trying to make the country a tax compliant society.
01:08In the last 5 years, more than 1.5 crore cars have been sold in the country.
01:19More than 1.5 crore, and I am talking about expensive cars.

02:32I want to ask you a question.
02:36Have you ever heard that the country had a goal of reaching 3 trillion dollars?

02:53In 70 years.
02:55First, no one asked the question, why did it take so long?
03:00And no one gave an answer.
03:03Now we have a goal.
03:05We are also facing questions.
03:08And to achieve this goal, we are willing to sacrifice our lives.

03:25It is better to set a difficult goal and try to achieve it than to go ahead in a directionless manner.
